Here's how to create Heart Hugs with Poly-fil:
STEP ONE
To begin the Easy Poly-Fil Pocket Hugs, gather all supplies. Download, print and cut out the heart and hug patterns at the bottom of this post ⇓. Pin the heart onto Kunin Classic Felt and cut out two hearts for each hug. For this project, I am using red and lagoon felt.
STEP TWO
Pin or trace the hug pattern onto Kunin Classic Felt and cut out with scissors. Tie a loose knot in the center of the hug. Use a dot of Fabri-Fuse fabric glue to secure the ends of the hug to the inside right and left sides of the heart. Set aside to dry.
STEP THREE
Layer the plain heart on the back of the hug heart and select embroidery floss that matches the color of the felt.
STEP FOUR
Thread embroidery needle with all six strands of floss and blanket stitch from the point of the heart, around to the bottom of the hug. Stuff the heart tightly with Poly-Fil® from Fairfield™ working in small amounts. Make sure the entire heart is stuffed, so it puffs up. Finish blanket stitching the Easy Poly-Fil Pocket Hug closed.
STEP FIVE
Download and print the pocket hugs printable tags, and cut out with scissors along the guidelines. Use a corner rounder punch on all four corners and punch a hole in the center of the left edge. Cut an 18″ length of baker's twine, loop through the tag and the arm of the hug, then secure with a knot and finish with a bow. Repeat for the remaining Easy Poly-Fil Pocket Hugs.

Fairfield loves to hear stories about people making homemade and handmade crafts, quilts, and more in their spare time, which are then donated to people in need.
